Biography
Tatar Khan usurped the governorship of North Bengal from Ijjauddin Balban Iuzbaki in 1259, but he built a tomb for his predecessor in 1261. Tatar Khan was independent of the Delhi Sultanate until 1266, when he sent his envoys to deliver valuable gifts to Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban. He was to be granted official sanction for military campaigns in South Bengal, but he died before his emissaries returned.
